DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Andrei Tarkovsky Soviet Union

His meditative long takes and slow pacing demand intense viewer concentration, making attentiveness itself the subject of cinema.

 Michael Haneke Austria

His deliberately challenging films with extended static shots and minimal editing force audiences to concentrate deeply on meaning and discomfort.
